cannot reproduce Contacts Consistently Dropped in TWS

[Exorcet]

When in TWS mode, I find that a second contact is consistently dropped even if it's not maneuvering. Track attached.

Strange, I am not seeing it, tried your track in OB and our internal versions and everything seems fine. 

[Moonshine]

downloaded his track and ran it on my end, no mods, latest public OB version, same result as OP. as he bugs the first contact and fires, the lock drops as you can see from the symbology. this happens 2 more times before he then switches to the second contact to engage. after that, the locks are held with no issue.

maybe run it with the exact same OB version as the one we report the bugs from and from which the trackfiles are created? if its no longer an issue in an internal build, one can only hope that this makes it into the next patch then, alongside the other radar threads

As I said above, I ran it with our internal and OB, which is the exact same version, provided he is fully updated. I saw the target blink for a split second when it first appeared, but then it was fine. On the internal version it didnt blink at all. I had someone else test ad same thing, although I believe they only tried an internal version.

Please also include your dcs log so we can take a deeper look for any issue. 

thanks

ran the track again, here is the log

as NL said, there is some sort of blinking happening which looks like it drops the lock, not sure if the lock really drops or if its just a symbology shenanigan and the lock is kept throughout.

I see the same as Exorcet and Moonshine

New track and logs, multiple radar contact drops, I am up to date on OB:

This behaviour also seems to tie in with the ECM when used using the radar over jamming priority. I can’t confirm if this above behaviour is expected in this mode, however I know the radar should be turning off if the ECM is used in jamming priority.
 

Not sure if the ECM pod was used in the example above but it’s behaviour definitely sounds similar..

No ECM was involved.

@BIGNEWY is this still unable to reproduce after the additional files provided, or is the tag just left over from earlier? I am just curious. Thanks.

Not sure mate, I’d expect it’s still open for further testing.

This track is indeed strange, while its hard to reproduce indeed. But happens, and you didn`t loose any thing here. A bit of analyze here:

 

What I can say, there is something wrong with TWS mode atm, which you were using, but that will be fixed.

PS: changed RWS to TWS.

Thanks for uploading, but I am a little confused by your wording. I was in TWS, not RWS. You can also see me lose lock at 55 seconds. As soon as I use TMS right to switch targets, the second plane disappears from the radar. I have to TMS down to undesignate and then TMS right at 1:30 to make them both tracks. Only then could I switch to the second target and fire my second missile.

Sorry, I meant TWS, it was a typo. TWS causes issues atm.
